Fantasy Football writes "CNet lists the top 10 web fads of all-time, including the HampsterDance, All Your Base are Belong to Us, Star Wars Kid, and more. It's a nice nostalgic trip for many stories which were presumably posted on /. years ago."

  1. Napster? by th1ckasabr1ck · · Score: 5, Interesting
    How could Napster not make the top 10? I realize that it's still around and providing some sort of service, but Napster was HUGE for a while.

    I was in high school when it hit big time (before the hammer came down when you could get any song you wanted in like 30 seconds) and it got EVERYONE using their computer: jocks, cheerleaders, etc.

    I live in the same city where the site was made. After the fad hit, she made enough money to buy a new beetle and put "hampsterdance.com" decals on each side.
